Nikon D40x
Nope, this isn't a replacement to the still very-recent D40 - the D40x brings in 10 megapixels for those who want more resolution in their basic digital SLR. Again, the D40 is not being replaced; this only means Nikon has two entry-level digital SLRs for you to choose from.
Nikon D40x

- ISO sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 1600 (ISO 3200 with expansion); D40 was ISO 200 to ISO 1600 with expansion
- Full manual controls plus scene modes
- Shoots at 3.0 FPS up to unlimited JPEG or 6 RAW/RAW+JPEG (D40 had 2.5 FPS)
- 3 point AF
- Assist Images and Retouch features
